Amelke, 53 years old from Buurmalsen, The Netherlands. She started sailing since young, in the province of Fryslân, where she fell in love with being on the water. Amelke started working on board Bark Europa in the spring of 2019 as a barhand. Since then, she’s one of our key-workers and plays a vital role in maintaining a great spirit on board, serving food and drinks and helping out wherever she can.
This superwoman joined the ‘epic voyage’ of 81 days from Ushuaia to Scheveningen in 2020 and has previously been sailing with us towards Cape Town, Australia, Tahiti, Fiji and Auckland.
